 Topic: internet cheapies....
Posted: 08 December 2010 at 1:16pm |

Hey ladies,
I have brought some internet cheapie PG tests (I can't even remember where from I thought they were David brand but not even sure on that...) my issue though is that everyone on the packet is in chinese!!
I wasn't too concerned how hard is it right, dip it - 2 lines = BFP, however don't know what the 'developing' time is - is it usually within 2 mins?
Thanks in advance!

Hiya Monkeys 
Firstly.... my lines came up clearer on my ICs than on my first response.... I'm a convert!!!!!
You dip it in for min of 10 seconds, I usually do till pink is almost at the top....
Results come within 2-5mins..... if no line after 10 mins then it's a negative....

Well..... I got my first line on an IC in the afternoon at 12dpo.....
It came up after the 10 mins and you had to squint to see it.... but it was spot on

When I used the David strips I never read them after 5 mins cos I just don't think you can trust super faint lines on IC after that time as they are so prone to evaps...

I have been purchasing them myself lately as well and it says to immerse for at least 5 seconds and read it within 5 minutes, no longer than 15 minutes :)
Glad I found this because the instructions they sent with it said 3 seconds

Does anyone know if you can actually store them in the fridge also? it says no less than 4 degrees and no more than 30 but living in aus I think the heat of being in the bathroom maybe higher in there some days :(

Hi ladies,
I decided to buy some David hpt from DealExtreme (just in case I become a poas addict, hahaha). It's the first time I purchased from this site. How long have you waited for delivery to Auckland?
Thanks

That's not too bad monkeys. I suppose I don't really need them until Christmas Day/Boxing Day till I could test anyway

I paid by VISA so payment would have been instant. Hopefully they'll be delivered by Christmas

Argh, I'm still blardy waiting!! Ok so I know Christmas was only a few days but I would have thought they would be here by now. I did check online and it said it was sent. Might have another look. Very annoying as I'm 3 days late for AF and want to test but DH doesn't want to buy a test until NYE grr!!!
